I think your paint thinner may actually be the culprit. A thinner that dries too fast will become chalky before you can pounce it off. Mona Lisa is notorious for that and many reborn artists have stopped using that brand for that reason. Bob Ross is a great, slow drying thinner that works well with the Genesis. Another trick: try mixing your paint in a few ounces of Bob Ross thinner in an air tight jar. Add a drop (really, just one!) of Linseed Oil. Mix carefully and cap when not in use. Make sure you work in a well ventilated area, it's stinky stuff. Between the slow-drying thinner and the Linseed Oil, your dolls should be chalkiness free!

Can you use that thinner for air dry acrylic paints?
